TMO 2.5 Exterior View

Dhasso · 04-06-13, 05:34 PM

Just a quick question, I am running TMO 2.5 and really love it. In the campaign mode on hard, you are unable to get the exterior view of the sub (f12). Does anyone know if there is a way to enable it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dhasso,
Just before your patrol, in the desk room clic the game options, and there re-enable the external camera.
I'm quite sure you can change any difficulty setting before each patrol if you want to.

You must change some commands entries in the commands.cfg file. Please, read the TMO manual (for TMO, its the same).

Best regards.

What's the need to change the Cfg file, if we can change the difficulties in options tab?

It's just become "custom" instead of "hard"...

I believe it is the event camera that needs to be hard coded with the change, the external view can be clicked in options.

TMO is by default without ext camera. You need to touch the Commands.cfg if you want the cameras.

In the manual there are instructions for that.

The external camera and event camera are in the realism settings.

I don't know why on earth you need to mess with CFG files. All you have to do is uncheck/check a box in the options.

Fifi · 04-07-13, 05:34 PM

Yes, i don't understand too.
For external camera, just the option box...but for external next/previous unit, you need to edit the Cfg file. Maybe that's what he is talking about

Maybe. I didn't even notice that the feature was scripted out.

There isn't much use for the next/previous unit cam other than to cheat.

Absolutely!

I only remembered reading that in the TMO 2.5 readme/manual.
Perso, i only use external camera for screen shots and sometimes to check if my torpedos are hitting while escaping deep below.
